Sick! Mako (LoK)

[Juniebee]

Hi guys, I recently picked up drawing again, so I thought I'd sketch a sick!Mako and write a small fic to go with it. I really miss LoK. This takes place during book 2 ( unlike most of the material for Legend of Korra on this site, that takes place during book one), and has plenty of brotherly love and ignores Makorra. Also, my laptop has been having issues lately so this was uploaded from my phone, so that's why no italics or bold ,sorry

" Huh...Hur-eekssshh! HUR-rushoooo!...Ugh..:." Mako sneezed forcefully as he walked up the stairs to his apartment, the sound echoing off the walls in the narrow stairwell, a blue handkerchief held snugly over the lower half of his face while his other hand searched his pocket for his apartment key. As soon as he found it,he paused to blow his runny,stuffy nose loudly. He coughed a few times in the now almost-useless handkerchief before (finally) making it up to his apartment and letting himself in. He threw the sodden handkerchief in his laundry hamper and flopped down on the couch.

"*sssnnnff*...uuugghhh...." He moaned to himself as he rubbed his hands under his eyes. What had started as a runny, itchy nose this morning was now turning into some full fledge flu. His nose was streaming endlessly, his head was stuffy, he was sneezing every ten minutes at least, his throat was getting sore, it was 8pm and despite skipping lunch he wasn't hungry. But no way was he gonna take some time off, he was so close to figuring out who was messing with Asami's company, he couldn't stop now....

"EHT-eashch-ooo!EEESSSHHHH!..." He raised his elbow to his face just in time to catch those two desperate sneezes, before fumbling around for the box of tissues that he kept on the coffee table, and holding them in front of his itching, twitching nose "hehh...hUh....hUHHH...hahh.hhheehh....." His breath hitched helplessly for almost half a minute, as the tickle rose and fell, before letting out a powerful "EEAASCHH-OOO!" He coughed a few times and blew his nose thickly. He got up to get himself a glass of water and downed it, hoping to quench his dry mouth, as his nose had been completely useless at taking in air for the last couple of hours. Just as he was setting the glass down, he heard the doorbell ring.

"Combig." He called wincing, at the sound of his voice. He opened the door to find Bolin standing there, wearing his usual clothing, and holding some takeout.

"Hey Mako!"Bolin greeted, chipper as ever " I got some takeout, I was hoping we could-" he glanced up at Mako face fully, and his grin faded upon noticing his brother's pink nose and thick under-eye shadows. "Woah....you okay Mako?" He asked, his voice soft and dripping with concern. He moved his arm to rest his hand on Mako's shoulder. Mako grabbed his hand and pulled it off.

"Im'b fide. Whose that for?" He asked, a slight smile despite the growing headache building behind his eyes.

Bolin's thick eyebrows snapped together with concern " It was for us to eat and catch up a bit, my sequel's almost done." Mako had been working even harder than usual, no wonder he was coming down with something. Bolin now wanted nothing more than to take care of his sick , stubborn older brother. He frowned slightly "But- I should probably just let you get some rest , you look awful."

"Ndoe, I'm fine, we can catch up, come inside." He motioned Bolin into his bachelor pad, shutting the door behind them.

"I'mb workig on the bombig case, and I thing the same guy that's behind theb is also responsible for robbing Asabi's combany. ".

"Uh-huuuhhhh ...you sound awful, too. Maybe you should get some rest." His voice soft and gentle.

Mako grabbed another handful of tissues and blew his nose roughly "Duh-uh. My dose is just ruddy." He sat down with his tray of assorted dumplings, " I wadda hear everythig." He gave a fond smile, and dinner went on, Mako only pausing to blow his nose or sneeze harshly (and Bolin gave a "bless you" each time, much to Mako's irritation).

Eventually it was time for Bolin to go back to his apartment.

"You sure you'll be fide walkig out alode? I'd feel bore safe if I -huh- Hep-choo! Huh-ISH-uh!" He blee his nose loudly , and Bolin chte him off

"Bless you, again , and no, I'll be fine, I'm not 8 years old anymore.Night, and " he put his hand tenderly and Mako's shoulder and gave a little rub " Get some rest okay, " his eyes huge and full of compassion "I could stay here if you want, keep an eye an you..."

Mako rolled his watery eyes " I'll be fide , good night, little bro."

Bolin closed the door behind him , making a mental note to check on his brother first thing tomorrow morning.

Hahahah , that got long! Let me know it you want more, and be sure to review! Again, so sorry for no bolds/italics!

This is fantastic! Don't be hard on yourself, your drawing is amazing, and the little story to go with it is incredible. Really in-character and so adorable.

It's not bad!!  Impressive for just picking it back up.  Some constructive criticism from a fellow artist, his hand is backwards.  Don't worry about it too much though, I still have trouble with it if I'm not careful

Keep up the good work!!!

Don't be so hard on yourself. Your drawing is fine, and the fic is really great too.
